About me
I turn complex financial and operational data into business strategy.
I’m a finance and operations leader with a passion for solving complex business challenges through data, strategy, and collaboration. Over the past 12+ years, I’ve led budgeting, forecasting, strategy, and business performance initiatives for large-scale real estate organizations and multi million-dollar assets.
I enjoy building teams and systems that improve efficiency, uncover insights, and support smarter decision-making. Whether leading teams, creating financial models, or presenting strategic recommendations to executives and investors, my focus is always on creating measurable impact.
